A surprise week off – did you miss me? Hope spring is springing where you are. We’re off for a long weekend tomorrow, heading to the greater San Diego/OC area which is not planned as reconnaissance but hopefully will be full of Housewifey surprises. I am packing my center-boob-medallion babydoll tops and my hot pink velour sweatpants. Oh, and my visors. Can’t forget.

So during the interlude: mostly news from the greater California area. A few tidbits from NJ and ATL, but I think they were mostly attention-seeking and low-content so I can’t be bothered. Here’s what I’ve got:

• There was some stupid event in LA a few weekends ago called “Night of a Billion Reality Stars”. Jon Gosselin was there, changing scenery from his Unabomber cabin in Pennsylvania; also Kyle Richards, Tree Guidice, The Glands, an assortment of Bachelor/ette famewhores, and more than one person I have never heard of in honor of Svedka Vodka. Gretch and the Magical Penis, never ones to skip a party with free drinks, were also on … Continue reading →

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends! I’ve heard from a lot of people that they really enjoy the Housewives News Roundup I’ve been doing at the start of each column, and we’ve got a lot of dirt this week so let’s just hop to it, shall we?

* I would suppose this means we can expect RHONY to launch at the start of June, just as RHOC winds up.

* Former Housewife, stripper, and alleged felon Danielle Staub is now taking calls on what may be a phone sex line … Continue reading →

Welcome back to El Adobe De Capistrano, my friends, where the fun has only just begun. Before we get to that, there’s been plenty going on off camera to get caught up on, so let’s hop to it:

* First, in case you were dying to hear the details about Eddie Estrada’s proposal to Tammy Faye Barney, the magic moment happened when the two were vacationing in Bora Bora. Eddie re-proposed back in the OC with the assistance of Tamra’s four kids to make it a big family occasion. Isn’t that sweet?

* Interestingly, there is a photo in the coming issue of Us of T & E with her lovely cushion-cut diamond ring, and in it she’s wearing the same outfit she had on when she visited Vic’s office on last night’s episode, minus the brown suede boots. I thought it strange that she was carrying a Christmas coffee cup last night when the episode supposedly filmed in October (the comedy show was October 4), so now I just find the whole sequence of … Continue reading →
